From: Bill Blackmore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2007 10:50 AM To: "Undisclosed-Recipient:;"@spamarrest.com Subject: Reminder Found Money For the Quiet Zone and URGENT need for volunteers
Dear Train Safety and Quiet Zone Supporters, There was an article a recent USA Today that states that there are now 339 existing or proposed quiet zones consisting of 2,912 crossings, according to the the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). FRA officials get calls daily from communities interested in creating quiet zones. BNSF Railway reports it has had "a couple hundred inquiries" from 28 states. So you can see we are not alone and Fairfield is part of this national concern. You can read this article at HYPERLINK "http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-08-19-quiet-zones_N.htm"http://www .usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-08-19-quiet-zones_N.htm or at HYPERLINK "http://www.fairfieldquietzone.org/"http://www.fairfieldquietzone.org/. We are about to embark on a final push to raise the rest of the money we need to fund our quiet zone. WE NEED HELP! Right now 2 of us are doing everything, and although we have a few volunteers, we need a LOT more help if we are going to get across the finish line. Please let's don't let this opportunity slip through our fingers for lack of effort! Now is the time. Let me know when and how much you can help. We are in the home stretch of resolving all the technical and political issues to get a quiet zone. As these issues get resolved we must be ready with the funds as there are still a few skeptical council members. So please send in your contributions. I encourage everyone to take advantage of the money available through Microsoft reimbursements whether or not you have already contributed. Everyone can donate $100 to $200 without spending any of their own money! You are entitled to a cash reimbursement from a class action lawsuit that has already been settled by the State of Iowa and Microsoft for overpayments for software. If have any of the listed programs (Windows, MS Dos, Office, Excel, Word, Works Suite, Home Essentials) you may request a payment. If you fill out a simple form, it will take just 5 minutes. I did it myself and it is easy. Refunds will be sent starting in December 2007 for each program listed on every computer. If you are able to make an immediate cash contribution in the amount you will receive from Microsoft, that would be the best for the quiet zone. However, if you need to wait until you get your check, please apply according to the instructions below, and then advise us of the amount as a pledge. Please also ask your family and friends to do this too. It is a small effort for a big reward. If you work for a company that has lots of computers, please also ask the owners if they would apply for this reimbursement and contribute the proceeds to the quiet zone. Reimbursement Schedule Product Name Code Reimbursement Amount Windows or MS-DOS A $16 Office B $29 Excel C $25 Word, Works, Suite, Home essentials D $10 Total Potential Amount Per Computer $110 1) The forms are easy request a form at HYPERLINK "https://iowamicrosoftcase.com/secure/RequestClaimForm.aspx?ClaimType=S"http s://iowamicrosoftcase.com/secure/RequestClaimForm.aspx?ClaimType=S you can claim up to $200 with no proof of purchase and no product Id numbers.
